Woodman 92 Posted March 23, 2018 OK, so we''re not going up or down and the rest of the season is about ensuring we get above Ipswich and into the top 10. Last season when it became clear we wouldn''t be getting into the playoffs, our remaining home games became devoid of atmosphere.Fortunately this year we have Fulham, Villa, Cardiff and Leeds to come to Carrow Road, all of whom (bar Leeds), have a great deal riding on their remaining games. Even the Leeds game should be good, given their fans are usually vocal. This should mean that we get some entertaining games & let''s hope we can avoid being on the beach - which I can''t see being tolerated by Farke & co.

lake district canary 4,830 Posted March 23, 2018 The season still has interest in it. Eight games to go still gives us a possible 24 points to go at and if somehow we managed to win all those, we would have 76 points. Probably not going to happen, but the impetus has to be upwards to carry us into next season on a positive note. Any relaxing or winding down would be unprofessional and even if promotion isn''t happening, getting as many points as possible has to be the aim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 8,754 Posted March 23, 2018 The main interest for me is in seeing how the new players settle in, particularly Srbeny. I''m a touch disappointed Farke hasn''t given Raggatt some minutes as it would be good to see more of him too.Had a little chuckle at the idea that winning every single game is ''probably not going to happen'' though.

AJ 1,358 Posted March 23, 2018 I''m with King on this one, still a lot to play fot. How will Srbeny and Hernandez be doing by season end? I hope they both get their first goals for the club in the remaining games at least. Regardless of whether Maddison goes in the summer or not, we must enjoy his talent here whilst we can. A lot of players will also be playing for things too; Will Murphy be able to up his game? Will we see Raggett?Plus, we can finish about Ipswich and try get as high up the table as we can!

It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted March 23, 2018 You''d think players realise they are playing for their place next year, but often it doesn''t look like that. I guess we''ve been spoilt for the last 10 years, with something to play for at this point of the season virtually every year. Last season was the first time for ages that we didn''t. If you look back at say the 10 years after 1995, mostly it was like this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 68 Posted March 23, 2018 Petered out about mid January.. most boring dull unentertaining season in years. Got a season ticket, not been for weeks and unlikely to make the 6 hour journey again (there & back) this season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STFU 0 Posted March 23, 2018 We’ve still got something to play for, 52 points wasn’t enough to keep Leicester up in 2007/08 and Peterborough went down in 2011/12 with 54 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted March 23, 2018 We have some tough home games coming up where we can see if this lot have the bottle and fight to get results, or if they just roll over. I don''t see much chance of seeing many fringe players tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,762 Posted March 23, 2018 Im enjoying what most sensible fans predicted - seeing some of our signings from foreign leagues improve and make those who decided to write them all off after 3 games look...well...you know. If we can manage to finish above those lot down the road despite a complete transition period at the club that would be a laugh too.Then hopefully McCarthy will leave and we can enjoy watching them fall to league one next season.
